It's finally time for the 2013/2014 season to begin!

-During the regular season you are welcome to note us your selections in advance if you know you might be away for the weekend but we'd prefer if you could just respond to the journal with your picks. (Journal will be posted every Monday)
-You do not have to put score predictions in during the season but feel free to do so if you wish. Score predictions will be part of the Playoffs
-You may use a team name or a nickname when making picks otherwise we will just use your FA name.
-Please list all selections in one comment (Or in a continuation of your original comment if you are breaking up your picks for Thursday games, Sunday games, and Monday games). They can be as in-depth or as simple as you want. You are free to change your picks up until the first kickoff of that night of the week. Once the kickoff for Thursday, Sunday, or Monday occurs no more predictions or alterations for that day will be allowed. If you miss a day feel free to make predictions for the other days of the week.
-At the end of 17 weeks the 8 players with the most wins will move into the Playoffs which will follow a similar format. In the event a game ends with a tie you will gain neither a Win nor a Loss.
-Finally, have fun. This group is here so you can enjoy furries and football =P
